The capital is really lively, at least much livelier than the scenes shown in previous movies and TV series. The streets are crowded with people, especially small merchants and hawkers, and all kinds of shouts are endless, which is strange to hear. There are many shops on both sides of the street.
He looked very high-end, and the waiter in short brown clothes greeted guests at the door, no different from the doormen of later generations.
Li Man'er stepped on ancient bricks from a thousand years ago, and what he saw in his eyes were things and scenery from a thousand years ago. This feeling was so wonderful that it was hard to describe for a while.
The last time she came back from the eldest princess's mansion, she had no intention of looking at the scenery. It seemed that she missed a lot of street scenes.
"Sir, where are we going?"
Li Man'er just said: "Just take a stroll, just follow me."
"Hey." Zi Yan responded and followed closely behind Li Man'er.
The two masters and servants walked around and bought a lot of small things, including hair flowers and snacks for the girls, and combing oil for Grandma Wu. It was not expensive anyway, and they also experienced the feeling of consuming in ancient times.
After walking for a while, Li Maner said he was thirsty and wanted to drink tea.
"Girl, where are we going?"
Li Man'er raised her chin and said, "Pinmingju is in front of you, let's go."
Zi Yan also knew that it was her girl's shop, so she followed it without saying a word.
The waiter in the shop didn't know Li Man'er at all. He just thought she was an ordinary customer. He took her to the lobby and wiped the table diligently with a white towel. "Secondly, what kind of tea does your guest drink? There is a water sign on the wall. You can drink it."
Let’s take a look at it first, and then we’ll call the smaller one after we’ve chosen it.”
Li Man'er just said: "No need, bring a pot full of silver jade and a plate of cloud cake."
The waiter said quickly: "Okay, there is a pot full of silver and jade, and it looks like a cloud cake."
"Sir, what are we doing here?"
“Fishing law enforcement!”
Zi Yan frowned, still not quite understanding, "Sir, what is fishing law enforcement?"
"I'll tell you when I get back."
"Oh." Zi Yan wisely stopped asking.
Li Man'er took advantage of the break before the tea was served to look at the decoration inside the building. She felt that the decoration in this store was very noble, but it lacked a bit of elegance.
Pinmingju has two floors in total. It is a mid-to-high-end teahouse in the capital. Although it is not the best, it is not a place that ordinary people can afford. The cheapest tea here costs one tael of silver for a pot, like Li Man
The house is full of small amounts of silver and jade, but I only need two taels of silver.
Tea and snacks were served quickly.
Li Man'er took a sip and couldn't help but nodded. The aroma of the tea was very strong and the quality of the water was extraordinary. It should have been brought here after three boils and three soaks of mountain spring water.
The Yun Pian Cake tastes okay, above average, and it's worth the price.
The master and servant sat there for half an hour before paying and leaving.
Li Maner walked slowly, as if she was really going shopping. She stood at a stall selling calligraphy and paintings nearby, pretending to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings, but in fact she wanted to take the opportunity to see what the person following her looked like.
The person following him was quite smart. When he saw Li Man'er looking at him, he immediately turned away, for fear that he would be discovered.
Li Man'er saw all his actions and thought to herself that this man had followed him all the way and was not tired. Although he looked strange, he should have been sent here by some master in the mansion.
Apart from Guo, Li Man'er doesn't think about anyone else.
Just follow if you like! It’s not a big deal.
Li Maner casually bought a fan with landscape paintings and poems on it, paid the money, turned around and went elsewhere.
After wandering around for nearly an hour, it was time for dinner.
Those in Dazun's country who are well-off eat three meals a day, while those who are not well-off only have two meals a day.
"Sir, shall we go to Guangsheng Building to eat?" Zi Yan also noticed that her girl wanted to know about the conditions of these shops. Maybe this was the fishing law enforcement the girl was talking about.
"No, just find a small restaurant." If she only went to Pinmingju, it could be said to be a coincidence. If she went to Guangsheng Building to eat again, she might be aroused.
"Oh, let's go eat in front. I know a small restaurant with good food and very clean."
"Oh, yes, then you can lead the way!" Li Man'er opened the fan and fanned himself in a decent manner, as if he really regarded himself as a noble young master.
Zi Yan lowered her head and smiled to herself, and hurriedly took her to a small restaurant.
This restaurant only has one floor, and there is no decoration in the room, but it is quite clean. The friend is very enthusiastic and quick-tongued, and he told the names of the dishes in the store in a few words. The restaurant is small, and the dishes are not good.
There are many, but the four signature dishes in the store are very famous, and many people come here because of their reputation.
"Then as you said, I'll have a lion's head, a smoked fish, and two cold dishes. No wine, please hurry up."
"Okay." The friend tossed the towel and sang the names of the dishes while going to the back to order the dishes.
Not long after, two meat and two vegetarian dishes were served on the table, accompanied by two bowls of stem rice.
"Sir, you rarely come to places like this. I don't know if this dish suits your taste."
Li Maner is actually not that particular. Although she had a good background in her previous life, she also experienced some crises. She also ate insects when she was suffering, not to mention these steaming, fragrant meals in front of her! Pick and choose.
Her bad habits are all left over from the original owner's history. No one would believe her even if she told her.
"No, it's pretty good. Let's change the taste occasionally. Zi Yan, you can eat it too!"
Zi Yan happily agreed. Although she was still a little uneasy when eating at the same table as her master, the joy and satisfaction in her heart accounted for most of it.
Ever since the girl became enlightened, life for the servants like them has been getting better and better, and they have become more and more successful.
The master and the servant were happy to eat, but the little servant who followed them was miserable. When they were hungry, they could only eat a sesame seed pancake, but they were not full.
The master and the servant finished their meal, paid the bill, and immediately went home.
The sun is strong outside, and Li Man'er's face has turned red after being exposed to the sun all morning.
Grandma Wu seemed distressed, so she immediately asked someone to fetch water for Li Man'er to take a bath. She also mixed a thick layer of paste and asked the girl to help apply it on her face.
The paste exudes a green grass aroma, which smells quite good. It is cool when applied on the face, just like a facial mask.
"what is this?"
"Girl, you have forgotten that this is a recipe from Grandma Wu's family. You have been using this prescription since you were a child. The things in it include herbs and pearl powder. Anyway, they are all good things."
"Yeah." Li Man'er closed her eyes and said, "It's quite comfortable."
"Just put this on and sleep for a while. When the time comes, the slave will come in and call you."
"good."
The weather is too hot and makes people drowsy easily. Although the ice basin is placed to dissipate the heat a lot, for people like Li Man'er who have enjoyed air-conditioned rooms, the ice basin is really not that useful.
Too big.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, suddenly, there seemed to be another person in front of her.
